I continue to feel humbled by the power of therapy. Therapy will heal your pain. But it will not just relieve your suffering, a strong client-therapist fit will allow you to bear witness to the strength that comes from the courage of confronting the vulnerability within ourselves. Looking for a therapist should feel like buying a car- it needs to feel right, cost right and look right. Because that feeling of trust and safety is crucial to creating a space of brutal honesty as you begin to identify and explore your conscious and unconscious obstacles to equip yourself with the emotional tools and healing you seek.
I utilize an experiential learning philosophy to my practice. I will spend time out in the community with you to experience what change will look and feel like outside of my office and much beyond it. I will be your strongest advocate and will walk with you as you begin to access your own internal strength and find empowered lasting solutions.
I use a multicultural trauma-informed lens approach. I focus on areas of traumatic events- abuse, chronic illness, death, divorce, disaster and war- complex cultural family problems and gender dysphoria, transition, GCS. I work with cognitive and dynamic therapeutic strategies and I bring a blend of compassion, intuition, informality and humor to my work.
